very touristic : if u are a fan of wildlife go at 6 am

We went on the Aventuras 2000 Eco canal tour but I think most tours will be similar . Organisation was ok but the guide did not speak great English and also did not have much in depth knowledge of wildlife . The lake itself and rainforest inlets were interesting we saw a couple of capuchins who seemed to be trained for the tourists (!) leaping into the boat to take nuts. Saw a few turtles , birds , and some lizards . However for the most part the wildlife was not around and even our guide admitted that if you really want to.see and hear the jungle life a 5 or 6 am start would be better . On the way to the lake our car driver spotted a troupe of possibly howlers or spider monkeys way up in the trees which was cool . The trip to the Summit wildlife park /zoo ( sort of rescue centre ) after was underwhelming . We then decided to cut short the tour and skipped the picnic as it was very hot . I have been lucky enough to see monkeys in their natural habitat in a Belize volunteer centre so this tour was probably not for me .More

If you only have one tour to do in Panama canal area, this is the one you want to do. It starts on a motor boat cruise the more commercial path of the canal where you navigate along the commercial ships transiting and explore the jungle side where you get to feed the monkeys. Then they bring you to the house boat of the owner where a copious lunch is waiting for you. There is a range of activities that are proposer to you after that. You can choose between: kayaking, fishing, chilling in the hamacs, swimming, etc... We did the kayaking and I suggestion you bring water shoes because there is a little bot of walking to reach a small waterfall in the middle of the jungle!

Seriously, I would like to thank Carl and his crew for the amazing day and the humour was awesome! We had a blast!

we took two young kids with us to see the monkeys and wild life, which they did...but lunch wasn't until 1:30 when we made sandwiches and had a muffin and pop...a long time as we did a two hour bus ride, a boat ride, a walk in the jungle...so take food!

Its only been 9 months and I still think about my awesome trip on the panama canal with Captain Carl. If your in Panama and you don't do this tour,(better yet spend the night, I did) You will not know what you have missed. Captain Carl will make sure you have a great adventure. My favorite part was hearing the Howler monkeys in the very early morning, Thanks again Carl, I will be back. Connie from Missouri
